If you're searching for the best amusement parks in the Philippines, theme parks near Manila, or a weekend trip built around rides instead of beaches, this list covers the 14 worth planning around. It spans Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, from long-running names like Enchanted Kingdom and Star City to newer additions like Dinosaur Island and SandBox at Alviera.
Some of these are classic ride-and-coaster parks. Others lean into a specific theme: marine life, dinosaurs, Filipino folklore, or outdoor extreme sports. A few are indoor, which matters if you're planning around rainy season. Below you'll find the location, attractions, hours, and rates for each one, so you can figure out which trip fits your family or your group before you book anything.
